President Biden on Wednesday approved an additional $800 million in security aid for Ukraine after the country’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, made a stirring plea to members of Congress for help in repelling the 21-day-old Russian invasion.
It includes missile defense systems and drones that Zelensky requested, but not the Polish MiG-29 fighter jets that the Kyiv government has sought to help secure the skies.
Here’s a rundown of what’s in the package, according to theWhite House:
- 800 Stinger anti-aircraft systems
- 2,000 Javelin anti-tank missiles
- 1,000 light anti-armor weapons
- 6,000 AT-4 anti-armor weapons
